Welcome to the security guide for developers! This section covers essential information to help you ensure the security of your applications and services. Below are some key points to consider.
1. Secure Coding Practices
A. Input Validation Always validate user inputs to prevent SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and other common attacks.
B. Secure Authentication Implement strong authentication mechanisms, such as multi-factor authentication (MFA), to protect user accounts.
C. Encryption Use encryption for sensitive data, both at rest and in transit.
2. Common Security Threats
A. SQL Injection SQL injection is a type of attack where an attacker can execute arbitrary SQL commands through a vulnerable application.
B. Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) XSS is a type of attack where an attacker can inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users.
C. Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) CSRF is a type of attack where an attacker tricks a user into performing actions on a web application without their knowledge.
